Ingredients
Scale
- 480 g (2 cups) whole milk, divided
- 28 g (1/4 cup) cornstarch
- 240 g (1 cup) heavy cream
- 150 g (3/4 cup) granulated sugar, divided
- 90 g (5 large) egg yolks
- 260 g (1 cup) pumpkin puree
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Whisk 1/2 cup of milk and the cornstarch in a small bowl and set aside. Heat the remaining 1 1/2 cups milk, heavy cream, and half of the sugar in a small saucepan set over medium heat just until it simmers. Stir occasionally.
- Set a fine-mesh sieve over a large pitcher and set aside.
- Whisk the egg yolks and remaining sugar in a large bowl. Gradually whisk the hot milk into the egg mixture.
- Add the cornstarch mixture and combine. Whisk in the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie mix. Return the mixture to the saucepan and whisk constantly over medium heat until it thickens, about 4 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter and salt until smooth.
- Pour the mixture through the sieve into the pitcher.
- Divide the custard evenly between the prepared jars. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours or overnight. Keep chilled until ready to serve.
